Chasm

With 'Chasm,' the anticipated follow-up to Shit Robot's acclaimed 2006 'Wrong Galaxy' 12-inch, Marcus Lambkin once again demonstrates his keen ability to create dance tracks both deceptively simple and instantly gratifying. On the epic A-side, Lambkin masterfully joins relentless, brooding, patiently building techno with underlying melodic rock grooves. This dance track is both innovative and immediately familiar. The flipside, appropriately titled 'Lonely Planet,' is a galactic krautrock adventure through whirling synths into the unknown.

Lambkin, who grew up in Ireland, spent several years DJing in New York--where he met friends and cohorts James Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy of the DFA-- before moving to his current home of Stuttgart, Germany. After touring the world while relentlessly DJing and returning home in between gigs to record in his new home studio, Lambkin finally unleashes his second set of bold and anthemic dance floor treasures.
